View answerNo information is available to me or the Health Products Regulatory Authority relating to the profits of the pharmaceutical company referred to by the Deputy.
I refer the Deputy to my composite reply 18761/15 of 13 May which provides information on the communications process between a medicines regulator and the pharmaceutical company.
I would like to add that the Health Products Regulatory Authority is the competent authority for the regulation of medicines and I have no function in the matter.
